I'm a Industrial engineer, and I can tell try to stay away from "tech" programs and get into a engineering degree. It will be more work but much better pay in the end. Also once you know the theory behind engines and such you will be able to do all the tech work they are teaching you. You will also be more educated on modifing cars because you know the effects it will have on your baby. I started in a EE tech and found that when I switched to a ABET accredited university, they accepted NO credits after one year of work! All because tech programs are algebra based and not calculus. Go with any ABET accredited school and gurentee yourself 40-60 G's once done. Good luck, it will be tough be be diligient and form group study sessions!
AMEN! But, I have to disagree about the pay scale though. I know two guys with tech degrees in my workplace that are pulling more money than me, not from schooling though, but from actual work experience.
Both guys have the "congressional" stamp from intern ship with DOD on their resumes for which grant them more pay and higher status anywhere they go. It's all about experience and what you know now.
